Romulus CD player--

Grannyring, the Signature upgrade also includes HRS Nimbus Couplers. Did you install these?

Grannyring,
It doesn't matter how you purchased your Romulus DAC, the point is that you got it and are happy with it. I don't know why some people are concerned with how other adults choose to spend their money. Vacation travel, audio components, jewelry, boat or custom tailored clothing etc. We all have our personal preferences. We all certainly have different disposable income spending budgets. So what's out of reach for one is easily obtainable for another, that's simple reality. What brings the most joy and satisfaction is what should be pursued and is an individual matter. You could spend 500.00 on a DAC and be pleased, or spend 50K and be frustrated and unhappy. The converse is also true.
Charles,

Putting on a Sistrum stand. Charles. ..... Right again!

Bill,
The Star Sound Sistrum platforms have been very worthwhile and exceptionally cost effective in my system. I'm not surprised that you like them. The Apprentice versions are really an asset.
Charles,

Grannyring, Hi, Does the signature Romulas auto up-sample red-book cds to 24/192 format?, I do not believe the older stock version Romulas could do the conversion, cheers.
